Hurtle Duffield è incapace di amare qualsiasi cosa eccetto ciò che dipinge. Gli uomini e le donne che lo corteggiano durante la sua lunga vita sono, prima di tutto, le vittime della sua arte. È il vivisettore, che seziona le loro debolezze con crudele precisione: la deformità di sua sorella, l'indiscrezione al chiaro di luna di un droghiere e le illusioni appassionate della sua amante, Hero Pavloussi. È solo quando Hurtle incontra un'adolescente egocentrica che vede come il suo bambino spirituale che prova un'emozione più profonda e insidiosa.

Patrick White was born in England in 1912 and taken to Australia, where his father owned a sheep farm, when he was six months old. He was educated in England at Cheltenham college and King's College, Cambridge. He settled in London, where he wrote several unpublished novels, then served in the RAF during the war. He returned to Australia after the war.
He became the most considerable figure in modern Australian literature, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973. The great poet of Australian landscape, he turned its vast empty spaces into great mythic landscapes of the soul. His position as a man of letters was controversial, provoked by his acerbic, unpredictable public statements and his belief that it is eccentric individuals who offer the only hope of salvation. He died in September 1990.
